    Aberdeen is pretty grim.

    I rather like Cardiff, it's had a few quid spent on it.

    The Kings Cross area of London is awful. All that money spent on St. Pancras station and rail travellers to this country disembark straight into halfway hostels, drunks and vomit on the kerbside. I did some work for 3 months until October opposite Kings Cross station and regularly had to step over human excrement left in the office doorway. A colleague caught a prostitute urinating in the courtyard once, knickers around her ankles, in broad daylight. It's a charming area.

    And yet Granary Square and all the other poncey 'in' places behind the station are inflating prices in the area and with all the new builds you now need silly money to live there...

    If anyone here has survived a walk through the Quarrendon Estate in Aylesbury I'd be impressed. A carbuncle of pure misery. Send pictures of that place out to Poland, Estonia, Romania etc and we'd stop the immigration flood into the UK in a moment.

    Lived in Hemel Hempstead for 8 years and can confirm it deserves to be on the list. I also lived a few miles from Luton and it is without doubt the arsehole of England.

    All of Yorkshire and it is the people not the place, Yorkshire this Yorkshire that, **** off if bores me ridged. When anyone says 'I'm a proud Yorkshireman' they need to be shot, how is Yorkshireman even a common use word? You don't hear anyone say I'm a proud Sussexman or Bedforshire man. They seem to believe that Yorkshire is the best place in the world yet they infect the rest of the country by moving out of sodding Yorkshire AGHHHHHHHHHHHH nuke the entire county!!!!!

    I used to like Summer Wine. Ooh, the anticipation each week of what Compo would be in when he careened out of control downhill to impress Nora Batty. Quite hilarious. I'm chuckling now.

    3 badly dressed old farts talking nonsense - going down a hill in a bath-tub. Clarkson only changed the bathtub for a ford focus, and came up with top gear

    You should have seen it back in the 90s then - I couldn't believe how much it had changed for the better when I went there recently, even with what you describe there Uber.
